Hampshire set to be hit by three days of terrible weather

Starting Sunday, January 26, the county is in for three days of rain and wind, with warnings being lifted by Wednesday.

The Met Office has released a yellow weather warning for each of the days, cautioning there could be power cuts and flooding.

“While Sunday’s system doesn’t have the same strength as Eowyn, it will hamper some recovery efforts and bring further wind and rain, with the possibility of some flooding in places.

Sarah Cook, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency said: “Following the disruptive wind and rain brought by Storm Eowyn, significant surface water flooding impacts are possible in central and south west parts of England on Sunday and overnight into Monday due to further heavy rain, with minor impacts possible more widely.

"Environment Agency teams are out on the ground, taking action to reduce the impact of flooding and will support local authorities in their response.

"We urge people to stay away from swollen rivers and not to drive through flood water as just 30cm of flowing water is enough to move your car."

Looking ahead to next week, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway said: "The set-up for the early part of next week shows a likely continuation of periods of wet and windy weather, although less severe than we have seen from Eowyn.

"For the second half of the week, we start to see a trend toward more settled conditions which could see a return of some frost and fog."
